Following a match with Peyton Stearns at the DC Open, the tennis superstar confirmed what many thought when she told a reporter, “My fiancé is here.” She added: “He encouraged me to get through this and it’s wonderful to be here.”
Before his relationship with Williams, Preti dated Italian TV host Claudia Gerini. The duo made headlines for their age difference as he is 16 years her junior. Now, fans want to know more about Williams and Preti, including what their age difference is. Here’s the answer to that, plus who has the higher net worth.
Preti’s age and net worth
Preti was born on July 28, 1988, in Copenhagen, Denmark, to an Italian father and Danish mother. He grew up in Denmark before relocating to Italy when he was teenager.
Preti became interested in acting and moved to America to study the craft at the Susan Batson Studio in New York City.

Williams has had a very successful tennis career spanning over three decades winning four Olympic gold medals, seven singles Grand Slams, and 14 alongside her sister Serena. She has raked in more than $40 million playing the sport.
In July 2025, after not competing in an official tennis match since March 2024, she returned to play in the DC Open and told reporters: “I’m not here for anyone else except for me, and I also have nothing to prove. Zip, zero. I’m here for me because I want to be here. And proving anyone wrong or thinking about anyone has never gotten me a win and has never gotten me a loss.”
Williams has made not only a lot of money on the court but off it as well thanks to her career earnings and several endorsement deals. The latter has earned her between $5 and $10 million per year. Williams is also an author and in 2010, released her first book, Come to Win on How Sports Can Help You Top Your Profession.
